Introduction

Fall is the perfect season to refresh your home with cozy textures, layered colors, and multifunctional comfort. If you have been considering a new sofa, Fall 2025 introduces inspiring trends that balance timeless neutrals with bold statements, all while making your living space more functional.

Here are the top colors, fabrics, and features to know this season, and how Coddle designs help bring them into your home.

Color Trends

This season is all about versatile neutrals, deep tones, and colors that carry into 2026:

• Pantone’s Color of the Year: Future Dusk → A rich blue-violet that adds mood and sophistication while pairing beautifully with warm neutrals.
• Khaki → On the rise as a major trend moving into 2026. Fashion editors are calling it a must-have neutral, and Sherwin-Williams recently named “Universal Khaki” its 2026 Color of the Year.
• Caramel → A warm, inviting shade that works beautifully as a long-term upholstery choice.
• Earthy Neutrals → Taupe, stone, and warm grays continue to serve as timeless bases.
• Jewel-Inspired Accents → Emerald, burgundy, and sapphire remain go-to colors for adding richness to your space.

Pro Tip: If you are not ready to commit to a bold sofa color, add trending tones with seasonal accessories such as throws, accent chairs, or storage ottomans.

Fabric Trends

Texture takes center stage in Fall 2025. Sofas are becoming tactile statements that balance style with performance:

• Performance Velvet → Adds luxury while resisting stains and daily wear.

In 2025, sofas are not just about looks—they are about making everyday life easier:

• Sleeper Functions → Sectionals and sofas that convert to beds are ideal for guests.
• Power Outlets & USB Ports → Stay charged without leaving your sofa.
• Built-In Storage → Chaise lounges and ottomans double as hidden storage for blankets, linens, or seasonal décor.

Future Dusk, khaki, caramel, and earthy neutrals lead the season, with jewel-inspired shades adding richness.

Yes. Performance velvet is particularly popular because it combines durability with luxury.

Q: Are multifunctional sofas really worth it?

Absolutely. With features like power outlets, hidden storage, and sleeper options, multifunctional sofas offer long-term value and everyday convenience.
